I managed to nip out, on my way to get some Langley's Gin from Connolly's Wine in the JQ, and grab a picture of the last bit of sun for the day. I love this view from my street, of the BT Tower and the library snuggled at the back there, with the winter sun [...]
You might think this post is going to be all about the treat that is cheese (with wine and gin thrown in for good measure). You'd be half right, but the real treat was having the lovely Laura, George, and Emma over to enjoy a table full of food with me at home. Shout out [...]
Home is wherever I have these faces to look at. Preferably; it's warm, and I have a cup of tea in my hand. Birmingham is full of my favourite places and faces; it's 100% home. I've lived in Nottingham, Sydney, and intend to live in Toronto for a while in the future. But, Birmingham will [...]
I'm reflecting on the fact that I don't always have the energy to keep up with Brum Blogmas. It's two days after this should have gone up, and I think that's okay. My health, and the resulting ability to do everything I want to, goes up and down. A year or so ago I would [...]
Putting the decorations up on my tree every year is one of my favourite parts of Christmas. Therefore, I'll keep this simple and show you our 2017 Christmas tree...The star is a bit wonky, but I love it all the same. Peace, love, and pine needles, Fay x https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uz1aCDjTz5U
As I haven't given out, or received (and opened) any Christmas presents just yet; I thought I'd say a few things about the gift that keeps on giving (to me). I am so grateful for the NHS; it keeps me alive, and all my care, medication, and hospital stays are absolutely free. When I look [...]
Is there anyone or anything more sparkly than Mariah Carey? No. A divisive opinion, but I am wholeheartedly a Mimi fan, a lamb, and part of the lambily. I am used to the eye rolls; don't worry, I literally don't care. She's the best. Music Box was my first ever CD; I got it when [...]
When I think of winter warmers; I think of hot food and drinks, but you probably suspected that anyway. Therefore, I thought I'd include a few of my favourite hot beverages that you can enjoy around Brum at this time of year. I've picked these in particular, because of the taste, and the festive settings. [...]
There are always little things and big things on my annual naughty list... I'll list eight things because it's day eight (see what I did)... Bad manners Lack of empathy or kindness Cold feet (mine) Neuropathy (you might need to Google it, but trust me; it's effing painful) Anxiety Baked beans (no no no) Clowns [...]
Since I started this blog; I've had the pleasure of meeting some absolute poppets, lovelies, sweet peas, good eggs, and (if you haven't vommed yet) those who should live on nice lists everywhere. As someone who suffers severe social anxiety at times; I was a little worried about getting into blogging and travelling out to [...]
